Chapter 58: Young Cult Master

Translator: NinetalesEditor: Fish Creek

The people in the courtyard increased in number. They were of all shapes and sizes and they all had different professions. The only similarity they shared now was that they were all looking up at the utterly dilapidated wooden building, which was now filled with thousands of holes.

Finally, the Wood Hall Master was beaten down as the whole wooden building collapsed to the ground.

Amidst the collapsed building, a Green Dragon coiled around his body and he punched away the shattered woods that were flying towards him as he walked to the second building.

Bang, bang, bang…

The wooden building tremored continuously as if a huge beast was rampaging through the building. The second building wasn't any better than the first, as the walls were exploding with figures flying out one after another.

Qin Mu was progressing faster and faster. It was obvious that he was absorbing battle experience, raising his battle awareness and his skills after defeating the hall masters one after another!

Rumble.

The second building collapsed and raised dust into the air.

Qin Mu then proceeded to the third building.

...

The night fell. In the village of the Heavenly Devil Cult, the stone basins on top of the stone pillars were filled with flammable oil and were ignited. Inside the village was bright like daylight yet outside the village was pitch black darkness. Once the light in the village comes into contact with the darkness, the lights in the village would be consumed by the darkness. It was two different worlds in and out of the village.

Among the fiery glow, over three hundred hall masters of Heavenly Devil Cult stood in the village as they raised their heads and looked at the last wooden building.

There were a total of nine wooden buildings. Every building had forty hall masters that were guarding forty rooms. By now, Qin Mu had fought his way to the ninth building and was about to reach the top.

”Young Master Mu hasn't taken a rest for an entire day and night, am I right?”

Cathouse Hall Master replied softly, ”He started fighting since morning and other than having lunch and dinner, it seems like he hasn't stopped fighting yet.”

Wind Riding Hall Master said, ”It's almost morning and he is about to reach the top of the ninth building. Doesn't his energy and vital qi seem too plentiful? It doesn't appear that he had used up any at all. In addition, his stamina is so powerful that it's scary! However, the few fellows at the top floor of the ninth building aren't that easy to deal with either.”

On the top floor, the four people were the four great cornerstones of all three hundred and sixty hall masters: Green Dragon, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger and Black Tortoise. These four halls corresponded to the Four Great Spirit Bodies and therefore, the chosen hall masters were outstanding talents who were carefully picked.

These four halls had the strongest martial power among all three hundred and sixty halls. The other hall masters all have their own talents and managed a single profession whereas these four halls were only in charge of battle prowess.

In the history of Heavenly Devil Cult, most of the Cult Protector Elders come from these four halls. Even some cult masters had come from these four halls.

The room in which Qin Mu had entered was the White Tiger Hall Master's room. White Tiger Vital Qi specializes in sharpness and is unbreakable.

Back when the cult master, Li Tianxing, was killed wretchedly on his wedding night and the cult mistress having vanished with the cult's legacy holy bible, the Four Great Hall Masters were all trained by the Devil Cult Patriarch to take over as the next cult master. Though he didn't expect them to be able to expand Heavenly Devil Cult, he wanted them to not be swallowed up by Eternal Peace Empire.

Even though the Four Great Hall Masters didn't reach the anticipation of Devil Cult Patriarch, they all had astonishing growth in strength.

Despite White Tiger Hall Master having sealed his other divine treasures and leaving his Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure open, he was still a formidable enemy that Qin Mu had never met before!

This woman had refined her vital qi into an extremely durable vital qi thread. However, she didn't cultivate any methods of using qi to manipulate sword. Her vital qi thread itself was her sword.

It was almost impossible to see her vital qi thread clearly. When Qin Mu stepped into the room, the White Tiger Hall Master had her vital qi thread extending out from her ten fingers and draped around all corners of the room, making it difficult for Qin Mu to walk.

Her body was like an enchanting demoness in the Great Ruins. She was extremely flexible and moved freely in the room. Her fingertips had waves and waves of vital qi swords shooting out in all directions towards Qin Mu. They appeared to be her fingernails, yet they also seemed like flexible swords that could control their lengths freely.

Moving like a feline, she was extremely nimble in the small room. Whether it was the walls or the ceilings, they were all like flat ground to her.

This battle was very tiring. Qin Mu used his Pig Slaughtering Knife to cut down the fine vital qi thread in the room, but every strand was extremely durable and hard to cut apart. Furthermore, the White Tiger Hall Master kept putting up more threads with her trusty hands, disabling Qin Mu from defending against it.

On the other hand, the White Tiger Hall Master could move freely in her room and even use her limbs to stand on her vital qi thread, traveling to and fro as if she was flying.

Using her vital qi as a thread, her flexible sword was very peculiar. It could curve in all ways and even bend eighteen times, showing that her sword skills were not weak as well!

Qin Mu was repeatedly wounded, as he was required to be careful of both her vital qi thread as well as her vital qi sword, making it very tiring for him. Whether it was the Old Ma's fist skills or the Cripple's leg skills, he was unable to execute it. In addition, Butcher's knife skills couldn't be unleashed properly due to all the obstruction. Thus he was at a disadvantage.

Finally, with a stab of his sword, the wooden sword managed to hit the White Tiger Hall Master in the chest even after it was split into two by her vital qi thread. It pinned her to the wall and sent her out of the wooden building when the wall shattered.

Qin Mu raised his knife to cut away all the vital qi thread in the room and then took out medicine to apply on himself before bandaging up his wounds.

Sitting down, he took the time to recuperate and ate the food provided in the room. When the pain from his body has subsided, his stamina also recovered quite a bit. Breaking a few planks, he used Pig Slaughtering Knife to shave them into wooden swords and placed them on his back before entering the next room.

He had defeated three hundred and fifty-seven rooms out of three hundred and sixty rooms. Now he was left with the last three rooms.
